In some economic good news for India amid the US tariff conundrum, the GDP has grown by 7.8% in the first quarter of this financial year against an estimate of 6.5%. The figure is also 1.3 percentage points higher than in the same timeframe last year.
India’s Gross Domestic Product had grown 6.5% in the April-June quarter in the last fiscal and the growth in the same three-month period in 2025-2026 represents the fastest rise in five quarters. The previous highest GDP growth was 8.4% in the January-March quarter of 2024.
China’s growth in April-June this year was 5.2% and India’s GDP figure means that it remains the fastest-growing major economy.
The growth was driven by the services and agricultural sectors, which saw a rise of 9.3% against 6.8% and 3.7% against 1.5%, respectively, in April-June last year, as per National Statistical Office (NSO) data. The construction sector’s growth slowed to 7.6% this year against 10.1% last year.
Earlier this month, the Reserve Bank of India had projected real GDP growth for 2025-26 at 6.5% with Q1 at 6.5%, Q2 at 6.7%, Q3 at 6.6%, and Q4 at 6.3%.

Seems like a dead economy to me /s
It’s mind-blowing how decades of bi-partisan consensus building of the US-India relationship will likely go down the drain because actions and words uttered over the past few months.
The only saving grace is that the term of the office in the US is limited, and that he’s not immortal.

India on track to be the next superpower thanks to demographics. But Im guessing this increase is mainly thanks to cheap oil.

india’s growth is mainly driven by internal consumption as its 1.4 billion people and rising middle class form a market of their own and the new tax cuts are targeted to further boost domestic demand. Export tariffs won’t affect India as much as they do other countries.
